Jarrett Tenebe, the chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Edo State Chapter, has taken aim at Monday Okpebholo’s detractors after the governor faltered during his Tuesday presentation of the 2025 budget projections to the State House of Assembly.

The governor reportedly stammered over the proposed budget size’s numerical digits during the presentation to the State House of Assembly, which prompted social media users to mock him, according to ZINGTIE.

The figures in the paper presentation were purportedly mispronounced by Governor Okpebholo in the social media video that went viral.

“The Edo State 2025 Appropriation Bill of 6 billion… 650… 605 billion… 76 thou… 76 million. Let me take it again. 506 billion… 605 billion… sorry… 776 billion… sorry, it’s confusing me,” he said.

The APC chairman responded by dismissing the criticism and calling it unfounded, attributing the governor’s mistake to human error.

He insisted that the governor’s performance should speak for itself and said that Governor Okpebholo’s stuttering was a sign of his honesty, unlike the state’s immediate former governor and others.

Tenebe stated that mistakes are common among humans and that Governor Okpebholo was no different.

“I don’t know figures. You see, that is how to know original and innocent people. Obaseki will not make such mistakes because he has stolen billions before. Asue Ighodalo will not make such mistakes because he has stolen billions before. Monday is not a thief, so he’s not familiar with figures.

“So, anybody who wants to talk can continue to talk. It’s nonsense. He’s the governor of the state, he’s performing, and he will continue to perform. And anybody who does not like his face should go to hell and burn to ashes, period, and thank you,” Tenebe added.
